More Filipinos unhappy, dissatisfied

MORE Filipinos entered 2019 unhappy and dissatisfied, a Social Weather Stations (SWS) survey found.

The survey conducted from December 16 to 19, 2018 among 1,440 adult Filipinos found that 87 percent of those polled were happy with their lives while 13 percent said they were not.

The 87 percent figure is down by seven points from the all-time high 94 percent in December 2017.

It is also the lowest since December 2014.

On the other hand, the number of those who said they were satisfied with their lives dropped to 82 percent, down by 10 percentage points from December 2017.

This is the lowest in over four years since the 79 percent in September 2014.

The number of dissatisfied is the highest since the 21 percent in September 2014.

The survey had sampling error margins of ±2.6 percent for national percentages, and ±5 percent each for Balance Luzon, Metro Manila, the Visayas, and Mindanao. Ralph Edwin U. Villanueva
